The Photizo Flexible LED Light Therapy Pad V2 (Large) is a hands-free red and near-infrared light therapy pad built for broad coverage – over a horse’s back and quarters, on large dogs and other large animals, and across larger areas on people. Its soft, flexible body conforms to the area and covers 2305.5 cm² in a single placement, far more than a handheld or a small pad. Secure it with the strap, choose a level and a timed session, and it runs on its own.
The pad combines 660 nm red light with 850 nm near-infrared light. Four output levels and selectable 5, 10, 15 and 20-minute sessions make it easy to fit light therapy into a routine – warm-up, cool-down, recovery or veterinarian-guided rehabilitation. It runs on mains power or a compatible USB-C PD power bank, so it works in a stable, paddock, yard or at a show without a nearby socket.
What is the Photizo Flexible LED Pad (Large) used for?
Photizo describes the Flexible LED Pad as a complementary photobiomodulation device that, used alongside veterinary or healthcare guidance, may help relieve pain, ease stiffness, reduce swelling and inflammation, and support the body’s natural healing processes. With horses and large animals it is commonly included in routines for:
- Back, topline and saddle-area muscle tension
- Hindquarter and large muscle-group comfort
- Arthritis, joint stiffness and age-related mobility
- Muscle spasms and trigger points
- Soft-tissue, tendon and ligament support
- Warm-up before work and cool-down or recovery afterwards
- Bruising and swelling
- Post-operative and rehabilitation support, under veterinary guidance
Who is the large pad for?
- Horses and ponies: back, topline, hindquarters and large muscle groups.
- Large dogs: broad coverage over the back, hips and shoulders.
- Large livestock and other large animals: wide areas in a single placement.
- People: larger areas such as the back, shoulders and hips, as part of an everyday wellness and recovery routine.
For small pets such as cats and small dogs, or for targeted spots like a single joint or lower limb, the smaller Photizo Flexible LED Pad is easier to position.
Why choose the large Photizo pad?
- Large single-placement coverage: 87 × 26.5 cm wraps a back or quarters in one go.
- Wrap-around fit: contours curved areas; the strap holds it in place, hands-free.
- Red and near-infrared light: choose 660 nm red light or combined 660 nm and 850 nm output.
- Four output levels: match intensity to the animal or person and their sensitivity.
- Timed sessions: choose 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes for consistent, repeatable use.
- Power-bank ready: use it in the stable, yard, at a show or anywhere without mains power.
Before and after work or exercise
Many riders and owners fit a session in on either side of exercise. Beforehand, a few minutes over the back and large muscle groups can help loosen and warm the muscles and support circulation. Afterwards, a session supports recovery in the areas that take the most strain – the back, quarters and shoulders. Sessions of 15 to 20 minutes, used consistently, tend to suit this better than occasional longer ones. The same applies to active dogs and to personal use after exercise.
Using the pad with horses and large animals
Introduce the pad calmly – let the animal see and smell it before the first session, and keep it supervised throughout. Place the LED side against a clean, dry coat or skin over the target area and secure it with the strap. Reposition between sessions to cover larger regions such as the full back or both quarters.
Thick or dense coat reduces the amount of light reaching the skin. Part the coat where practical, but do not clip or alter an animal’s coat without veterinary guidance. The pad is a complement to veterinary care and does not replace diagnosis, medication or treatment.
How will I know the animal is responding?
Horses often show they are settling into a session within a few minutes – lowering the head, licking and chewing, softening the eye and relaxing; dogs tend to settle and rest. Responses vary, and an animal with no particular issue may simply enjoy the gentle warmth. Use the pad as part of a routine rather than expecting an immediate change.
Red and near-infrared light therapy for people
The large pad is not only for animals – many EcoHub customers buy it for themselves. Its broad coverage suits larger areas of the body such as the back, shoulders, hips and thighs, which makes it an easy, hands-free way to bring red and near-infrared light therapy into a daily wellness and recovery routine – after exercise or training, or at the end of a long day. Strap it on, choose a level and a timed session, and let it run while you relax.
Used this way, the pad is a general wellness device. It is not a medical device, and it should support rather than replace appropriate healthcare. If you have a diagnosed condition or injury, or are pregnant, photosensitive or taking photosensitising medication, speak to a healthcare professional first.
Wavelengths and output settings
- 660 mode: visible 660 nm red light
- ALL mode: combined 660 nm red and 850 nm near-infrared light
- P1: 24 mW/cm²
- P2: 47 mW/cm²
- P3: 71 mW/cm²
- P4: 96 mW/cm²
The 850 nm near-infrared output is invisible to the eye. It is normal not to see all of the light being emitted.

Frequently asked questions
Does red light therapy work on horses?
Many owners and equine therapists include red and near-infrared light therapy in their horses’ muscle, recovery and rehabilitation routines, and often see visible relaxation during sessions. Responses vary between horses, and it is not a cure or a replacement for veterinary care – it is a complement to it.
Can I use the large pad on a big dog or other large animals?
Yes. The large pad suits broad areas on large dogs, large livestock and other large animals. For small pets or a single targeted spot, the smaller Photizo Flexible LED Pad is easier to position.
Can I use it before and after exercise?
Yes. A short session beforehand can help warm and loosen the muscles, and a session afterwards supports recovery. Around 15 to 20 minutes per area suits most routines.
How often can I use the pad?
It can be used daily. Consistency over time tends to matter more than long or high-intensity sessions. Follow the Instructions for Use and adjust to the animal’s or person’s needs.
Can it be used for arthritis, laminitis or a tendon injury?
For any diagnosed condition or injury, consult your veterinarian first. Where appropriate, the pad may be used alongside veterinary care as a complementary measure – it should never delay or replace professional treatment.
Can I use the Photizo pad on myself?
Yes – many customers do. It suits larger areas such as the back, shoulders and hips, and is an easy hands-free way to include red and near-infrared light therapy in an everyday wellness and recovery routine. For a diagnosed condition or injury, seek healthcare advice first.
Can I use it after a workout?
Yes. Many people use a session over worked muscle groups as part of a post-exercise recovery routine. Around 15 to 20 minutes per area suits most routines.
Is the Photizo pad a laser?
No. It is an LED photobiomodulation device that uses red and near-infrared light.
Important safety information
Do not use the pad over a known or suspected cancerous mass, directly over a developing foetus, in or near water, or directly against an open wound. In the pulse modes, keep the animal and handler from looking directly into the LEDs, and avoid the pulse modes where there is a history of seizures. Use only the approved power supply or a compatible power source.
The Photizo Flexible LED Light Therapy Pad is a complementary treatment device. It is not intended to replace medical or veterinary advice, diagnosis, medication, surgery, physiotherapy or rehabilitation. Individual results vary.
